Memorial Day.

Rain commenced falling during the
forenoon and the prospects foS the
march were gloomy. About noon the
rain ceased and the sun sent her greet
ings. Lockwood Post and the Sons
Of Veterans marched to Dock street
where the procession was TO form and
then another shower of rain came
down, with thunder accompaniment.
The outlook again became doleful,
but soon the storm clouds cleared away
and nature again smiled on the scene.
About two o'clock the procession start
ed from Dock street and along Second
street to Washing OH avenue and
then to the cemetery where memorial
services were held and the soldiers
graves decorated with flowers. The
procession presented an attractive APP
pearance. First came the command
ing officer, Colonel Donnelly, then the
City band, after which marched the
Alpena Guards in white helmets and
dress parade uniforms, the Sons of
Veterans and members of Lockwood
Post, while in the rear were many
carriages containing citizens BY the
time the procession had returned to
town, and the base ball match was
over, rain again commenced to fall
and continued all night.

Oak Timber for shipbuilding.

Bay City Press: Scarcely any per-
son has any conception of the amount
of oak timber required to build one
of the large vessels which are in
course of construction at the yards of
F. w. Wheeler, and Capt. JAS. DAY.
idson in this city, although the sight
of one of them in frame makes one
stand aghast at the sight of the enor-
nous ribs which are so thickly studded
together that they form almost a solid
oak wall, and which are then covered
on the inside and outside with thick
timber of the finest quality. Fancy
one of these marine monsters, several
of which are now ready to launch,
and nine of which are to be completed
before snow flies next fall, requiring
about 1000 big oak trees in her con-
struction, or about 100000 feet of oak,
board measure. What a drain on our
forests nine of these crafts entails.
From calculations made, however, and
from figures obtained from the build
ers, one of these vessels contains about
1000 tons of oak, which, at the rate
Of a load and a half per ton, would
give 5000 loads of timber, and conse-
quently would require 1000 trees to
build her. AS not more than 40 oaks,
yielding a load and half, are reck-
oned to stand upon one acre of ground,
it would take, therefore, so acres to
produce the oak necessary to build
one of these modern lake monsters,
such as will be launched in this city
in few days. The vessels which are
to be completed here this year would
therefore demand the timber from
40 acres of land as it usually stands.
What an enormous amount of labor
is thus expended from the time the
chopper drives his axe into the stand
ing oak until it is converted to the in
tended use and has entered into the
of monster vessel which
moves OH the surface of the great
lakes like thing of life, and which
has involved an expenditure of about
$4,000 to put her ahoat.

The Journals Washington corrres-
pendent, as his letter shows, sees and
hears at the capital many symptoms
of Democratic discomfort with Cleve-
land. He undoubtedly faithfully and
intelligently reports the current gos-
sip of Washington, which like the
Kelly moter, with little or no materi-
al, is always on the verge Of perform
ing prodigies of force and motion, is
overtbrowing administrations, putting
out one party and installing another,
setting up one candidate and tramp
ing down another, but somehow never
quite accomplishing what seems so
plausible and easy. In the country
the President is yet the strongest man
in his party, and the Republicans are
by no means assured of the next pres
idency.-Detroit Journal.

The immense and rapidly increas-
ing immigration to this country ought
to set the workingmen thinking.
With a check upon the importation
of almost everything that could by
any possibility diminish the cost of
their living, there is no check upon
this importation of workingmen to
compete with them for the wages
which pay for their living. The pro-
Queer and manufactures who employ
them are protected and falsely tell
them the protection is to shelter them
from competition with the pauper Ia
Dor of Europe. How much longer
will they believe it with the pauper
labor of Europe pouring in by the
ship load to compete with them here
in their own country Detroit Free

Practical Temperance Lectures.

The expediency of giving up the
use of liquor is presenting itself in a
score of ways. Life insurance dis
eliminates against the drinker. So
do employers. The bricklayers' strike
in Chicago is strike against the en-
ployers' refusal to pay wages on Sat.
urday, because experience has shown
that too many employees spend their
money for drink on Sunday and are
unfit to work until the middle Of the
week. The result will be that EN-.
ployers will give preference in work
to those who do not care to have their
money Saturday in order to spend il
in drink on Sunday. Spaulding, the
president of the Chicago base ball
club, says that the rigorous restric.
lions under which the men are placed
this year are working admirably. He
wants to lift the game above the level
of saloons and pool rooms. He wants
to elevate the club so that any college
graduate can join it without sacrifc.
ing personal dignity or social standing
by doing so. The result will soon be
that the sober men, the strictly tenn.
perate men, will have preference over
drinking men, and by mere process
of natural selection base ball athletes
will be cold water men. In his ad-
dress to the locomotive fremen last
Sunday, Mayor Hewett showed them
that if their organization alone would
save the price of a glass of beer every

1t is not likely that the railroad
company will contest the injunction
suit of Fletcher, Pack & Co., in re-
gard to the route graded cutting off a
corner of their tramway. The rail-
road company will be apt to wait UNI
til the injunction is dissolved, and the
station will remain on Washington
avenue for the present. If legal
obstruction had not been placed on
the route, the rails would probably
have been laid this week.

am Democrat to the core and l
want to sec my party succeed, and
Cleveland is the man who can help it
to that end. do not mean to say
that he has pleased all the diverse ell
ements of the party, and it is further
true that he has raised quite an army
of opponents in disappointed appli-
cants for office and their friends. But
among the people there is an abiding
faith in the mans honesty and cour-
age.-McDonald.

WIN. A. MCDONALD,
Recorder.

On Thursday morning last deer
poked its nose out of the bushes Just
below the saw-mill in Atlanta and
looked around to see who was there,
and when it saw the game warden
standing near by talking with Mr..
McNaughton. it moved quietly out
and walked Along up the opposite
bank of the river as far as the bridge
and then turning to the south moved
leisurely on, wagging its tail and flop
ping its ears to brush away the flies.
II is needless to say that every deer in
the woods knows, as does every one
who knows anthing about Mr.. Nc
Naughton, just what would haye hap
pened to that confding animal if the
game warden had not been there

The President Always with Right.

President Cleveland is determined
that the settlers in good faith on the
public lands shall not be disturbed by
land grant railroads picking up choice
lots to cover deficiencies within the
limits of their assigned land. This
will probably put an end to great
deal of abuse and oppression. 1t is a
good thing for the solitary settler fight
ing a big corporation to have the
President on his side.-Pittsburgh

All medical authorities agree that ca
tarrh is no more nor less than an innamma-
ton of the lining membrane Of the nasal
air passages. Nasal catarrh and all ca
tarrhal affections of the head are not dis
eases Of the blood, and IL is a serious mis-
take to treat them as such. No conscien-
tious physician ever attempts TO do so. 1t
Is held by eminent medical men that soon
er or later specific will be found for
every disease from which humanity suffers.
The facts justify US In assuming that for
Catarrh at least positive cure already
exists In Ely's Cream Balm.
